What do they share in common? They are all clients of Mark Penn, "worldwide CEO" of Burson-Marsteller.
Was reading a NYT opinion piece by Chris Suellentrop, Clinton's Delegate Tactics, and a comment mentions Penn and his company:
"This is all about karma. Penn heads Burson Marsteller, a company that is probably the most deeply cynical in American history. If a company makes cigarettes, cow hormones that end up in milk, dangerous pesticides, or massive clearcuts they call Penn at BM. He will turn death and poison into flowers and honey."Hmmm? I'd heard of the guy; that he is Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist, but decided to dig a bit deeper:
- wikipedia entry on Mark Penn
- Corporate Watch profile of Burson-Marsteller
- SourceWatch profile of Burson-Marsteller
- Blackwater's Hired Guns: Hillary's Helpers, by Sharon Weinberger
What I find there I find downright revolting. And I am completely prepared to take a rap for jumping on the Hillary-bashing bandwagon. (Sorry, Hillblazers.)
Today, I double-down anything and everything I can do for Obama'08.
